Publisher's summary

To make the journey into The Power of Now you need to leave your analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Access to the Now is everywhere - in the body, the silence, and the space all around you. These are the keys to enter a state of inner peace. They can be used to bring you into the Now, the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here you find your joy and are able to embrace your true self. It is here you discover that you are already complete and perfect.

Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language in a question and answer format. The words themselves are the signposts to guide you on your journey. There are new discoveries to be made along the way: you are not your mind, you can find your way out of psychological pain, authentic human power is found by surrendering to the Now. When you become fully present and accepting of what is, you open yourself to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.

the time is now..

yes. yes. wow. oh, yes. I re-member. Never before has something been so plainly visible. If it is "too boring" or "his voice is too monotonous" then just set it aside and pick it u again at a later date. It is when, through his monotonous voice that his voice leaps, dips and dances, that you know " the time in now". No worries, if your reading this ..it is near..

Best book for being here now!

I’ve listened to this book twice and will most likely listen to it several more times throughout my life. The wisdom he bestows, helps me tame the chaotic chatter in my mind. When I bring myself back to the now, moments in life are simply wonderful. How could it not be, free of negative talk, free of problem concentrating, free of past thought, free of future thought. The stress and tension I feel is most often caused by identifying myself with the mind. A must read for everyone and should be taught to children in my opinion.

Just what I needed

In an attempt to better myself, I sought Eckart Tolle by way of a recommendation. I resisted it for a while, but finally gave in. It was worth it. I feel like hearing directly from the author's mouth helps communicate his ideas even more clearly and the very act of listening becomes part of the practice one learns about in the book. Great listening experience and a good way to absorb the content.

An amazing book that changed my life

Since the moment I turned it on I couldn't stop listening! First of all Tolle has a mesmerizing and calming voice that just keeps you tuned in. Second, the substance is incredible! So far, to me this is the book of the books. I have listened to it 4 times now and every time I discover something new. I practice everything I can remember and I see great changes! I no longer have panic attacks. My anxiety has diminished. I am more present and less in my head. There is still a lot of work ahead of me, but this book is something. I listened to it with my whole being and felt the truth that's always been there. Thank Mr. Tolle!

Absolutely amazing!

I truly enjoyed this audio book! I had the short version of the Power of Now for years just simply reading chapters here and there. But with this audio book I've begun to internalize the power of now. Just the glimpse I've gotten have been wonderful. I will be listening to this book a number of times.

Inspiring

I found this book enlightening and up building. It takes you to a place where you want to live in the moment and helps you see that the moment you're in is good. This book gives you tools to deal with all your fears and worries.
I'm better for having heard it.

Transforming.

A must read for anyone looking to truly change their life - or how they perceive their life.. Not a 'magic pill', but simple to comprehend and relate to. Doing so will take some work and commitment but Tolle gets you started.
